Whether you prefer cleaning up local beaches or getting your hands dirty potting plants, there is something for everyone among the flora and fauna. Earth Day is Saturday, April 22, 2023 - and there are various events happening throughout the weekend.
Boundary Bay Brewery is excited to be hosting an Earth Day Market! This market will focus on vendors and artisans who create goods that are upcycled and/or sustainable!

"From Tree to Sea" is a special Earth Day screening of films highlighting the ways in which the fates of the Northwest's iconic salmon, rivers, forests, and communities are inextricably linked.
Together, these three films highlight the immense cultural and ecological significance of salmon, and how the decisions we make in protecting endangered species and mature forests today are critical to building resilience amid a changing climate.
A facilitated Q&A will follow the film, which is presented by RE Sources and Endangered Species Coalition.
